Carla is the CEO of a multinational company that produces consumer electronics. She has been in the role for five years and has overseen significant growth in revenue and market share. However, Carla has recently become aware of some unethical practices in the company's supply chain, including the use of child labour and the exploitation of workers in developing countries. She is also concerned about the company's impact on the environment, particularly the amount of electronic waste that is generated.

Carla recognises that these matters could damage the company's reputation and have legal and financial consequences. She also believes that it is her responsibility as a leader to ensure that the company operates in an ethical and socially responsible manner. To address these issues, Carla decides to launch a corporate social investment (CSI) initiative that focuses on improving the lives of workers in the company's supply chain and reducing the company's environmental footprint.

Carla allocates a significant budget to the CSI initiative and sets up a team of experts to oversee its implementation. The team works closely with the company's suppliers to ensure that they adhere to ethical labour standards, and provides training and support to workers in developing countries. The team also develops new technologies and processes to reduce the company's environmental impact, such as recycling and energy-efficient production methods along with stakeholders.

The CSI initiative is a success, and the company's reputation improves. Customers and investors appreciate the company's commitment to ethics and social responsibility, and sales continue to grow. The mechanism of corporate governance is given top priority by Carla and her team. Carla is proud of the initiative and sees it as a testament to her leadership style, which values ethical decision-making and corporate social investment.

By launching the CSI initiative, Carla promoted workforce diversity which ultimately benefited the company's reputation and bottom line. She is seen to exhibit emotional intelligence by valuing differences.
